Winter Social 2012

[Susie]

I've now received the deposits from half the people who say they are going - just waiting for the rest.

[Susie]

More deposit cheques arrived this morning so I have paid the deposit to the pub for those people who have paid so far.

[Susie]

Last call for the few people who haven't paid deposits. If you want a place booked for the meal please let me have your cheques by the end of the week.

[Susie]

All the deposits are now in, time to start thinking about menus folks .... I need to submit your choices in just over a week's time.

[ChrisC]

pate, turkey and cheescake for me please Susie.

[Gruditch]

Hi Suz,

Lisa and I will have Pate / Brie starter

Turkey / Belly of pork for main

ice cream & cookies / yule log for dessert



Cheers Gruditch

[Susie]

Thank you both, that's very helpful.

(if people want to PM me with menu choices that's fine).

[Susie]

Hi folks,

I need your menu choices by Friday please and i'm still waiting to hear from nine of you.

Thanks.

[Wurzel]

[essexbuzzard]

Sorry for delay,Susie!
Can you put me down for Pate starter,
Turkey
Yule log please?
Many thanks,looking foreward to it!

[Susie]

Thank you

[Susie]

Two weeks to go, folks

If people want to bring photos or books or anything else they think may be of interest during the afternoon please feel free.

Also it would probably be a good idea to bring some cash and a calculator because sorting out the bill is always a bit of a nightmare. It's £21.95 per head for the meal, we've paid a £5 deposit so there is the balance of £16.95 to be paid, plus drinks and any extras you may have.

[Susie]

Just a reminder - it's tomorrow!

The table is booked for 1pm and I look forward to seeing you there.

[Pete Eeles]

[Gruditch]

Great day out, fantastic food, nice to see you all again


Thanks for arranging the day Suzie.


Regards Gruditch

[Susie]

No need to thank me, it was my pleasure.

Thanks to everyone who came along and made this afternoon so pleasant and obviously thanks again to Pete, Gary, Lisa, Guy, Vince and anyone else behind the scenes here at UK Butts.

I hope that the forum members who weren't able to join us today may be able to join us next year!

[Vince Massimo]

No need to thank me..........

I'll ignore that

Very many thanks for organizing this event Susie and particularly making sure that everybody got what they ordered, even though no-one could remember.........

A great time was had by all and, on a personal note, it was good to finally put some faces to names.

Vince

[Mark Tutton]

Just to echo the previous comments - thoroughly enjoyable afternoon - many thanks for organising Susie-especially for bringing the list of what everyone had ordered
It was great to catch up with one or two familiar faces and meet some less familiar ones.

[Susie]

Thanks Vince and Mark

It is always a suprise (although I guess it shouldn't be) just how well everyone gets on at these events. We're all different walks of life and yet everyone seems to get along just fine.

Oh, BTW, I bought my UK Butterflies calendar yesterday and very marvellous it is - it's not too late to order yours if you don't have one yet! You can see them in the photo being beautifully modelled by Essexbuzzard and Millerd!
